Oh, it’s probably a little bit of both.. To be fair, those checkpoints DO catch SOME bad apples. BUT, it’s also true those checkpoints can be circumvented. Also, those illegals caught at such checkpoints are caught inside the U.S., and as such are immediately entitled to all sorts of legal, financial, and other “entitlements” which we-the-actual American citizens pay for. As many of you know, here at The Daily Buzz we have been calling for our federally elected leaders to BUILD THE WALL NOW!!!!….and put U.S. Army National Guard troops (to augment the personnel shortfalls with the Border Patrol) physically ON the border with Mexico; NOT back 40 miles, as has been the practice for years. Being physically ON the border serves as a deterrent to those would-be crossers from trying to make an attempt. Here at The Daily Buzz, we’ve been calling for these measures 2.5 years before Donald Trump made the wall a campaign pledge.

As for the shortfall in hiring CBP agents… We’re glad to hear that the agency is maintaining high standards. We’d rather have 100 dedicated, honest, and quality agents…than 1000 incompetent, and easily bribed or ethically-challenged ones.
